There are hundreds of millions of Mulsims worldwide. A small, small number are radicalized. the rest are typical people. I see you haven't acknowledged if you know any Muslims. If you did, you wouldn't be so quick to make such an ignorant, sweeping generalization.
Now, as for my 'murica comment, it is a generalization about the backwoods, ignorant, bigoted thinking Americans that assume all Muslims have some evil agenda. Funny you take offense to it. Do you fit into that category? So to speed up this conversion, I have a few questions:
1. Do you know any Muslims at a personal level [[not just saying hello in passing)? If so, are they different from others? If so, how?
2. Do you think that American Muslims are more prone to be radicalized or are a larger threat to Americans? If so, why?
3. Do you think the bastardized interpretation of the Muslim faith as espoused by the zealots/terrorists is representative of how all Muslims believe?
4. Do you know how many crimes are committed in the US by Muslims and should they be the big concern of the average American?
5. Do you believe that Dearborn is managed differently or is under any type of threat
